I dont think everyone is having the same experience re Banding. And that has nothign to do with AA, so i still dopnt understand what the OP is saying. The banding is some sort of hardware issues, settings, graphics error, i dont know what...

I first started playing SH5 on a computer with a GT 8600, and i had no banding whatsoever (which demsonrates its not what SH5 is supposed to look like). I'm currently on another computer which is one of those HP Pavillion boxes (Samsung 23 inch widescreen synchmaster) with a nice lil processor i5 770, but a GT 220 for video, which while a little more powerful than the GT 8600 has now made banding a real problem. I've gone through 3 different driver sets and nothing reduces the banding.

The only other difference to when i was playing before with zero noticable banding was that i am playing on widescreen resolutions 1680 x 1050, or sometimes dipping down to approx 1300 x 900 (cant remember the exact value for that setting).

So why is it some computers are having this major banding issue and others not? It would be interesting to know what other types of rigs are having the banding issues.

PS: One other thing i noticed is that its really bad in foggy weather, the foggier the worse it gets.
